11:42 again - I don't recall seeing signs on any trails like W&OD that they're just for longer rides or that little kids learning to ride aren't allowed.  Sure, parents of such kids need to be vigilant, but these are multi-use trails open to everyone.  [/quote]

No, what the signs is say is stay to the right.  Anyone of any age who is capable of staying to the right, to allow others to pass, is welcome to use the W&OD. In fact I often see little kids (not sure the age) doing a great job of "holding their line" behind their parents.   BUT - if your kid is not up the point where they can bike properly and predictably on the W&OD,  then no, they do not belong on the W&OD. It  is a transportation facility for cyclists, runners, and pedestrians (and horseback riders in some sections), it is not a playground.

There are lots and lots of places where it would be appropriate to take a 3YO to learn to ride on training wheels. Neighborhood sidewalks, basketball courts, cul de sacs, quiet trails in neighborhood parks, etc.

There is no good alternative to riding on the W&OD depending on where you are going. [/quote]
